Over the years I have had 2 full head crashes where the disk was toast (lost a month of programming once - got lucky and found a diskette reducing it to a week). I had the powersupply go on another computer and fried 7 components including 2 disks (completely gone). I had another computer catch on fire. Had another computer loose a power supply but no components (it just could not boot). I think I am on the computer too much and they don't like me Pretty rough with the keys.

Now all my critical data goes through 3 computers (double backup every single day at least). The second one gets a full backup. Critical stuff goes to safety deposit box every few months just incase I loose the house (we are talking years of programming work and all my software purchases and downloads backed up to DC-disk). Dropped a notebook once and had another fall. No headcrashes on these two. I back up all studies (everything, not just my stuff) to 2 other computers since it is faster than selecting (the safety deposit box has a copy eventually).

I use Casper xp (Casper 5.0 is the new one) I use it with an external drive and it works great (just plugs into the usb port) and VERY easy to use. I just built a new computer for MC and used the backup, to access my old files. Here is a link to Casper- I have no affiliation with them, just a very happy user.

you could have many tipe of solution, it depend when a price could be good for you.

example

1
i advice to try acronistrueimage, it is really good software to backup your data.
and very easy to learn. you could make diffferent tipe of backup, image, and if you have a lan you could connect a schedule for automatic ftp server backup.

2
you can bua a little nas with 2 external hd and make a mirror1 to have a instant duplicate data, this good and you could find it with SyncBackPro

3
put 3 hd in one pc and make a raid 5 , remember that if you have win xp pro you could enable this function

there are too many solution for it and to solve the proble.

while if you need to recover you data from a broken hd, if the problem is in the mechanic of hd, you don't have many trouble to solve it (send me a post that i explain how to do), while if the hd is broken by temparuter , this could be more hard...

Another thing I do is this. Every change to a study I make or my database program gets backed up in this format (date_time_MachineCode_ShortComment). Date is YYYYMMDD and time is HHMM. The machine code is DT=DeskTop or NB=NoteBook. The machine code helps me keep track of where I made the change so I know what studies to transfer up to the Desktop or Notebook for recompile. Again for studies this backup is all studies (not just my studies). So I have at least a month or two of these revisions on all 3 computers and every so often I clean up so there is only a month. I do this because at times I mess up and do not detect a problem and need to go back a few revisions to get the stuff from an old backup. Here is a good example. My database craps often due to its size and controls. One time I made an error and forgot to back up the reports. I had to go back about 1.5 months (about 60 backup files) to get them. What I am saying is a hardware flaw is not the only reason to back up. Human error is worse since we do not detect it for a long time and it could be detected outside the backup cycle limit. In short, back up every change and keep the revisions a long long time.

Under that is a folder called Studies with a file graph_backup.xml, which I believe is an automatic backup of all studies/indicators made everytime you exit Power Editor and you should be able to use that file to import everything again.

I don't have x64, but I don't think the path should be different.

Is there such a file on Windows XP ?.. i did a search and cannot find it.
